Do you have enough money to bid on Michael Jackson’s moonwalk loafers?

GWS Auctions will auction off the shoes on May 26

Michael Jackson memorabilia lovers, your day has come: the loafers the King of Pop wore the first time he moonwalked on stage could be yours. The pair of Florsheim Imperial leather shoes worn during the rehearsal for his performance of “Billie Jean” on the 1983 Motown 25: Yesterday, Today and Forever are going up for auction. The shoes feature Jackson’s signature on the worn-down sole, as well as a “Michael #2” marking on the shoe’s tongue.

Prior to being made available for auction, the shoes were owned by choreographer and dancer Lester Wilson, who said Jackson gifted him the shoes after the rehearsal. The bidding for the storied footwear is already well over $10,000 according to GWS Auctions, and will likely climb toward unspeakably expensive amounts when the auction goes live on May 26 at the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

About MJDHI

This is an investigation website, that is it's purpose. Although Michael is loved here, and we feel aggrieved at the way much of his life has been scrutinized by those other than the people here, this was never set up as a fan based site, but one in which people were invited to forensically examine the obviously strange and discordant events of June 25th and beyond. We try to remain as dispassionate as we can in order to unravel a series of events which are leading to an examination of what was ever true in Michael's world.
